Nationwide Honey Recall Update as FDA Issues Risk Warning
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Food inspectors have designated a nationwide recall of hundreds of honey products as the second-highest of three risk levels. Queen Bee Gardens, a company in Wyoming, issued a voluntary recall on July 16 of hundreds of jars of its whipped honey products after internal checks raised concerns that some batches could contain small flakes of stainless steel. On August 1, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration categorized the recall as Class II. Newsweek contacted Queen Bee Gardens via its general inquiries email on Monday outside normal working hours. Why It Matters The FDA's classification of the Queen Bee Gardens recall as Class II signals a moderate health risk, indicating that use or exposure to the affected products may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, while the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. What To Know Queen Bee Gardens, based in Lovell, voluntarily recalled these affected products: 129 jars of QBee Whipped Honey Raspberry with the UPC 788394182358 112 jars of QBee Whipped Honey Pure with the UPC 788394182006 24 jars of QBee Whipped Honey Huckleberry with the UPC 788394182259 According to the FDA notice, the QBee Whipped Honey Raspberry and QBee Whipped Honey Pure products have the lot codes 206235 and were made on June 23. The QBee Whipped Honey Huckleberry has the lot code 206305 and was made on June 30. The recall covers jars distributed throughout the United States. Consumers are urged to discontinue use of the affected honey immediately. Stock image shows dripping honey. Stock image shows dripping honey. Getty Images What People Are Saying The U.S. Food and Drug Administration said of the recall risk categories on its website: "Class I—a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of, or exposure to, a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death. "Class II—a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences or where the probability of serious adverse health consequences is remote. "Class III—a situation in which use of, or exposure to, a violative product is not likely to cause adverse health consequences." What Happens Next The recall of Queen Bee Gardens' honey products remains ongoing. Consumers in possession of the recalled jars are advised to discontinue use immediately and follow company or FDA guidance regarding returns or refunds. Consumers who experience any health concerns related to the ingestion of these or similar products are encouraged to consult a medical professional and report the incident to the FDA's MedWatch program.

Evolysse Hyaluronic Acid Filler Review
It's not every day a new injectable hits the beauty market, so when I first heard about Evolysse, a new type of filler from Evolus (the makers of Jeuveau, a popular type of Botox), my ears immediately perked then my skin perked up, itching to give it a try. Yes, Evolysse is a filler. The dreaded f-word. But it promises to lead the way in rebranding the way social media has conditioned us to view filler in recent months (that it's bad, unnatural, and that it will leave your face looking puffy if overdone in just the slightest) thanks to a new technology that preserves the molecular structure of hyaluronic acid so it looks smooth and natural once injected. Intrigued? I was too—and was fortunate enough to get an early sneak peek of the newest FDA-approved injectable to see how it compares to the tried-and-true injectables currently on the market. I'm here to give my honest thoughts after trying it, and help set the record straight on where this injectable fits into your cosmetic treatment routine. Evolysse is a hyaluronic acid injectable. Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that's naturally occurring in our bodies that, when injected underneath the skin, can smooth out imperfections, add volume to areas of the face, and augment features such as the lips, chin, and jawline. You know how your hyaluronic acid serum makes your skin all plump, bouncy, and firm? When injected properly, hyaluronic fillers basically create that same effect but for the long term. Hyaluronic acid fillers have been around since the early aughts, but Evolysse is the first real technological innovation in the space in the last decade, says Julie K. Karen, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York, NY. "It's a new group of hyaluronic acid fillers that seeks to restore volume and smooth out the lower face in a very natural and smooth way because of the innovative technology by which they're developed,' explains Dr. Karen. Said innovative technology is called Cold-X Technology. It's what sets Evolysse apart from other hyaluronic acid-injectables on the market, and it helps protect the natural structure of the hyaluronic acid molecule. I'm going to get a little sciencey here, but the gist is that hyaluronic acid molecules are sensitive to warmer temperatures when manufactured for aesthetic use, though all current ones on the market are produced in this manner. When hyaluronic acid-injectables are made at very warm temperatures, it 'denatures the hyaluronic acid,' effectively causing it to break down into shorter fragments, which are then crosslinked to reconnect them for use. 'By processing the Evolysse line at cold, near-freezing temperatures, they preserve the natural structure of hyaluronic acid. This leads to a more natural-looking result, mimicking the actual existence of hyaluronic acid in the skin,' says Dr. Karen. This process also leads to more natural tissue integration and less swelling when the product is injected into the skin. Right now, Evolysse is FDA-approved to smooth dynamic smile lines and laugh lines in the lower face, though, depending on your provider's expertise, it can be injected off-label into other areas to volumize, smooth, or augment. Currently, the Evolysse line has two different types of filler in the U.S. market: Form and Smooth. 'Evolysse Smooth is softer and more pliable, making it suitable for more superficial lines like those around the mouth, like perioral lines, marionette lines, nasolabial folds,' says Connie Yang, MD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York, NY. 'I have injected Smooth in the lips and seen a beautiful, soft result,' says Dr. Yang. Evolysse Form, on the other hand, is firmer, more robust, and gel-like, making it 'suitable for deeper folds and areas needing more volume (like cheeks, jawline, etc.). It provides more structure and contour, which is great for areas that need more volume restoration and support,' she further explains. This all being said, Dr. Yang says the family of injectables 'are quite versatile and can be used at different depths to address a wide variety of concerns on the face.' Aside from the fact that it smooths dynamic smile lines and laugh lines, augments, and restores volume to areas of the face, Evolysse doesn't cause the lumps and bumps that can potentially form post-injection. 'One of the adverse effects of hyaluronic acid fillers is sometimes delayed onset of nodules, the little lumps, bumps, or granulomas around where the filler is placed,' explains Dr. Karen. By using Cold-X Technology and maintaining the natural form of hyaluronic acid by not having to crosslink it as much, 'they are finding both in the initial pivotal study, and then in practice, there is basically a nonexistent rate of nodules. That's not to say it can't happen, but in their initial study, no delayed onset nodules formed,' Dr. Karen adds. As of now, according to that same study, Evolysse is shown to last for one year. It's important to note that the length of the study lasted only for 12 months, and that it's been reported that fillers can remain detectable in the face years longer than initially thought, so it's reasonable to infer that Evolysse lasts just as long as other hyaluronic acid-based injectables on the market in the long term. Anyone experiencing volume loss, particularly around the lower face, and who wants a natural look is a great candidate. Dr. Karen says both Smooth and Form are great for a highly mobile area, such as the mouth (you're chewing, talking, smiling, etc), because of how natural and delicate the product is. 'If you put something that is too lumpy or clumpy in that area, it may not give you the best result,' she says. Dr. Karen adds that there's really no one who isn't a good candidate, unless someone has major volume loss where their end-game aesthetics goals are not realistic from the use of injectables. As a beauty editor and self-proclaimed aesthetics guinea pig, I wanted to try Evolysse to fill in some areas of slight volume loss around my mouth that were bugging me. I visited Dr. Karen's office for my Evolysse treatment. After having numbing cream applied to my areas of concern in my lower face and sitting with it for about 10 minutes, Dr. Karen assessed my face, choosing to use Evolysse Form on me. She injected a little bit of Evolysse Form between my upper lip and cheek, the nasolabial fold, and the melolabial fold, or what people call the marionette. She also placed a little in the pre-jowl sulcus, which is that slight divot that people get at the lateral aspect of their chin, along the jawline. Thanks to the numbing cream, the experience was only very mildly uncomfortable. The whole thing took less than thirty minutes, and I saw the results of the product immediately. Though very subtle, the skin around my lower face looked smoother and slightly plumper. The immediate results are what Dr. Yang loves about the injectable. 'What's unique about Evolysse is that you can treat to correction, meaning what you see after injection is about what you can expect in the long run. With Cold-X Technology, these fillers do not swell as much as other HAs on the market, which can be a good thing depending on your treatment goals." Depending on your location, provider, and number of syringes needed, the cost may vary, but the price of Evolysse is comparable to other brands of hyaluronic acid-injectables. You can expect to pay around $900 to $1,500 for a syringe, but even this range may vary. For reference, Dr. Karen does not usually inject more than a syringe or two at a time during an appointment. While I certainly love the results from my Evolysse appointment and find them to be super natural, it ultimately does not look like I've had filler, which is arguably the whole point. Provided you go to an experienced injector, you Evolysse can definitely refresh your face without making you look overfilled or puffy. I also loved that the effects were instant—so when I left my appointment, I immediately felt good about my results. All in all, Evolysse is another great option to choose from if you're interested in fillers. Taryn is a beauty writer and editor in digital media with more than 10 years of experience.

GLP-1s: Life after FDA enforcement returns
Unless you've been living on another planet over the past few years, you have heard of and probably know several people that are taking glucagon-like peptide-1 drugs or GLP-1s. These revolutionary drugs, originally developed for type 2 diabetes, have become the pharmaceutical industry's most sought-after innovation thanks to their weight-loss benefits. Brand names include Ozempic® and Wegovy®, which are based on semaglutide and owned by Novo Nordisk, and Mounjaro® and Zepboud®, which are based on tirzepatide and owned by Eli Lilly. Their commercial trajectory is unparalleled with $52 billion in global sales in 2024, $64 billion predicted for 2025, and $130 billion per year expected by 2030. Humira, the best selling drug of all time won't come close to these as it has 'only' generated around $250 billion since 2003 and is expected to generate another $9-10 billion per year for the foreseeable future. However, the road to this commercial success has been one of the more interesting ones as it has brought up FDA, patent, national, and international issues. These issues began in March of 2022 for semaglutide GLP-1s and in December of 2022 for tirzepatide GLP-1s when the FDA listed each of them on the drug shortage list. Inclusion on the drug shortage list means that the FDA has determined that the demand for a specific drug exceeds its supply and that shortage has a significant impact on public health. During the time a drug is on the shortage list, the FDA does not generally institute any enforcement actions against compounders that are making copies. Once compounders were free to make compounded versions of GLP-1s, demand surged even higher as compounders began offering these drugs. Costs to consumers plummeted from $1000/month or more for the brand name drugs to $150/month or less for the compounded versions. Overnight, an entire cottage industry was born. However, this all came crashing to a halt when the FDA declared the shortage over, thereby ending its enforcement discretion. The FDA provided a phaseout period for the compounded drugs and their compounding facilities based the drug, semaglutide or tirzepatide, and the type of compounding pharmacy. The phaseout for all of the drugs and pharmacies ended on May 22, 2025. Thus, in order for compounders to continue offering these drugs, they must be presented with a valid patient-specific prescription to prepare the medications and the medications they compound must be tailored to that individual's specific needs that prevent them from taking the brand-name version. Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly wasted no time notifying compounders that they must cease compounding these drugs. Eli Lilly filed suits against some of the larger compounding pharmacies, Empower Pharmacy and Strive Phramacy in April 2025. These suits were filed under the Lanham Act, based on the alleged illegal compounding of tirzepatide mixed with additives like vitamin B12 and glycine and thereby misleading customers into believing these products were FDA-approved. Compounders either continued to add or began adding these ingredients in order to fall under the exceptions for compounders based on the patient's specific needs. Novo Nordisk began working with Hims and Hers Health, Inc in April after the shortage for Wegovy® was declared over. This agreement was terminated in June 2025 when Novo Nordisk alleged that Hims and Hers was not complying with the law which prohibits mass sales of compounded drugs under the false guise of "personalization" and are disseminating deceptive marketing that put patient safety at risk. Novo Nordisk is also investigating additional compounders and telehealth providers for deceptive marketing based on this 'personalization' exception. With respect to the patent issues at play, Novo Nordisk has patents on semaglutide in the U.S. and most of the world that last until 2033 while Eli Lilly's tirzepatide U.S. and worldwide patents don't expire until 2036. However, generic versions of semaglutide are on the near term horizon. How you might ask? Well, Novo Nordisk failed to pay their patent maintenance fee in Canada in 2020. This means that the patent in Canada officially expired in 2020 but has been protected under Canadian laws governing data exclusivity which prevent generics from copying the drugs until January 4, 2026. Major generic-producing companies like Sandoz and Dr. Reddy's have already announced that they will be launching generic versions of semaglutide in 2026. The impact on consumers in Canada will be felt almost immediate. Additionally, consumers in the U.S. stand to benefit from the availability of generic semaglutide as the FDA generally turns a blind eye to individuals in the U.S. receiving their medications from Canada. Thus, the result of their failure to pay this maintenance fee will extend beyond Canada into semaglutide's largest commercial market. All in all, the market for GLP-1s has changed significantly since the FDA declared their shortages over. Most U.S. compounders have now ceased large-scale GLP 1 production. However, some continue to operate under state pharmacy boards or under legal protest, challenging the FDA's interpretation of "commercially available" in compounding laws. In a sense, they contend that the demand is still higher than Novo Nordisk and Eli Lilly can address. How this will play out legally remains to be seen.
